The Top U.S. Google Searches Of 2017

Wondering what was on everyone’s mind last year? Well, according to Google it was Hurricane Irma.

The search engine just released their list of the most popular searches on the site this past year, and in the U.S., the Category 4 storm that devastated the Caribbean and hit Florida in September tops the list.

Although Matt Lauer’s sexual harassment scandal just hit a few weeks ago, enough people wanted to find out about it that his name came in second on the list, followed by rocker Tom Petty, who passed away in October.
